    Burn Your Bridges Behind You!

    Give yourself no retreat

    There is a story I hear on some Napoleon Hill audio I like to listen to. An example is used of a ship going in to war, and the ship is burned so that the soldiers have only 2 choices. To win or parish.

    They won.

    I was brought up to not burn my bridges. But there are times when I now have to wonder if that was more of a hindrance than a help.

    When you don't burn, you can always go back. It gives one an easy out if they fail.

    Unfortunately, the easy way is not always the best way we really "learn."

    Sometimes it's good to turn the screws a bit tighter on yourself.

    why burn a bridge - just smash it

    Burning bridges got tiresome after a while. Same old, same old.

    We tried a different method of destruction here in a south a while back - seems to have worked pretty well for getting even with those pesky bridges. Took the photo myself - leave no bridge unturned.

    Well, crap, now I've done gone and got "the big guy" unhappy with me...even if he DID make a smiley face at the end of the post!

    See guys, you got me in trouble with all your snooty comments. I am so mistreated.

    Okay, Allen, I will start making some quality posts even though it goes against my very nature!

    Hey, by the way, you better take a look at Kevin's blog too. He is making stupider posts than mine.

    Nah nah na nah nah! Kevin's in trouble!
